We’re so close I can taste it! That’s right, this week is the final Alpha of Update 52, meaning that next Friday, Update 52, the culmination of the several months of non-stop work rebuilding basically most of the game’s core systems, will release to the game’s main branch. This week, Meat Grinder has gotten some much needed love. The mode now runs on my new Spawn-Table system, so as new guns get added to the game, they’ll automatically show up in MG (except the truly ridiculous/uber-powerful ones of course). Ammo is now slightly more plentiful, but guns themselves are a touch rarer, whereas before the balance was off in the direction of having tons of empty firearms, which always felt odd. Shotgun shells now spawn in wider varieties, mag fed shotguns appear, guns using clips and speedloaders appear, and even stuff like the new Contender can spawn with groups of 45-70 loose rounds. You’ll also find that melee weapons are more common spawns, which is especially helpful with the recent buff to Melee damage. Lastly, powerups now spawn, so for those of you who like to play Mode #2 in a ‘go as long as you can’ way, there’s now more opportunity to do so. As mentioned in the video, this next week is going to _mostly_ be a big bug fixing push. PLEASE use the Steam Community bug report forum for issues you find. Once again I’d rather stick to functionality/breaking issues as highest priority right now, just to ensure the best experience for folks jumping from the last non-alpha update to this one. I can’t tell you how thankful I am for all the help you folks have given me through this long and arduous Alpha process. Anywho, I’m going to jump back to it. Will be around as always though this evening. Let me know of how you like the new Meat Grinder feel! Peace, Anton To Switch To The Alpha Branch: - Right Click H3VR in Steam and go to 'Properties' - Click on the 'Betas' tab - Click the dropdown and select 'Alpha 1'
